rowing

A sport where people race boats backwards on water. It is arguably the most physically intense sport out there; it is not for the weak.

The U.S. Rowing team won the 2004 Olympic gold. Hooray!

Rowe

Rowe is a name of a sweet guy. He knows how to make a girl laugh and smile. To truly make them happy. Rowe can be a bit of a hardass sometimes, that is because he knows you can be stronger emotionally and physically. He is a person who seems tough on the outside. Although he is a touch, strong man, once you get to know him, he’s got the quirkiest personality. A child at heart. He loves to play around and likes hugs. Rowe is typically a loyal and truth worthy person. When he likes someone, he will stick with that person though difficult situations. He truly loves and cares for them.

My friend Rowe is on hard on me because he loves me. He knows I can do better.

Rowing is the only sport to originate as a form of capital punishment. I still can't figure out why I like it so much.

Vikings: Slaves and criminals would do the rowing, not the Vikings because they knew how much it sucked.

Rowing

The hardest sport. EVER. Much harder than swimming. But normally done by hotties.

*Swimmer*: You rowers are so lame. Especially those Zooties
*Rower*: What? Your googles are cooler?

Wow. Rowing is hard, but how freaking hot are they?

rowing

The sport that consists of 1 to 8 people in which you row a boat with one oar each. It is extremely difficult and takes lots of different abilities. Most people think it involves only arms, which is so far from the truth. Most of the terminology can be related to sex, like the cox, crabs, and phrases like "In rowing, the catch is aggressive, the hands quick, the slide smooth, the drive powerful, and the oar is always hard." It is mainly a collegiate sport, but has been practiced around the world for ages.

Let's go row because rowing is the best sport ever!

Rowing

No timeouts...
No halftime...
Just 2000 meters of adrenaline pumping,
lung busting, pain.

I saw that on a rowing t-shirt

Rowing

Hopeless process of destroying one's self in an attempt to move a Buoyancy - Operated - Aquatic - Transport mechanism, a.k.a. 'boat'. This futile act of throwing one's body limply against a long, plastic - and - wood (or metal) stick (also known as an 'oar') and thrashing one's arms about caused much pain and distress in the High Middle Ages, or around the 12th or 13th century, when many were expected to actually succeed at doing this on the trade vessels that were in fashion at the time.

Modern futility experts estimate that the people who continue to practice of this exercise will eventually die out due to natural selection and lack of reproductive ability.

Example of a rowing - related exclamation:
"Rowing practice; shit!"
